Just recently got my hands on one of those newfangled android tablets (nexus 7 to be precise) and am quite intrigued on jumping into application development before all the undergrads get back to bother me.

I've got a decent programming experience, but it's mostly with C for embedded microprocessors, and a bit of parsing and graphing captured data using python, so the whole world of gui development is new to me. I started with a search on google and am working on getting the tools and background knowledge needed.

Mostly, I was wondering if there was anyone here that could share their experiences of when they were breaking into this field or point towards some beginner/intermediate level guides.

I hope to get to producing a few neat ideas I have to track my bitcoin endeavours and of course share the more useful ones.
